In the heart of Downtown Annapolis, the forces behind Bloomstone Jewelers, Clarity Diamonds, and Fount and Flourish came together for "Meet the Scientist". An evening of discovery, fun, and empowerment.
Amanda Charris: A Visionary in Lab-Grown Diamonds
The star of the evening was Amanda Charris, a visionary in the field of American made, lab-grown diamonds. Amanda's passion and enthusiasm for science is contagious, making even the most non-scientific attendees at Meet the Scientist feel a newfound appreciation for the fascinating world of lab-grown diamonds. She detailed how woman has brilliantly harnessed technology to replicate the natural process of diamond formation, using groundbreaking innovation to create diamonds that are as real and brilliant as their natural counterparts.
She shared her heartfelt journey to becoming a leader in creating one of the world’s most coveted gemstones: the diamond.
Hands-On Fun: Diamonds and Experiments
Attendees didn’t just learn about diamonds—they got to experience them up close. From fun experiments demonstrating the incredible strength of diamonds to the opportunity to touch and feel the actual tools used in a diamond lab, every guest became a lab-grown enthusiast by the night’s end.
In a particularly exciting moment, each attendee got to take home a diamond in the rough—a tangible reminder of the magic behind these sparkling gems. It wasn’t just about education; it was about making science accessible and fun for everyone.
